Man… There’s no denying Jonny’s a phenomenal vocalist, but there’s just something special about his vocals in rock music. From Dance Gavin Dance, to Emarosa, to Slaves, and now Old Flame, he just belongs in this kind of music.
It’s the juxtaposition of his soul/rnb influence with the rock/post-hardcore that makes it work. Otherwise he’s just another rnb/soul artist which naturally doesn’t sound as interesting. This chorus is the best chorus he’s written in a longgggggg time. Maybe one of the best I’ve heard in a while from anyone in this genre
@@marshallfehr88 he's already on vivitrol as he talked about in an interview which has proven more effective than Suboxone in helping him stay on track with sobriety.
I’m so glad he’s back doing this kind of music. It sounds just like a deep cut from Beautiful Death, and I’d argue his vocals sound even better than before. It’s so great seeing JC doing so well. I can’t wait to hear the full album, and hopefully this band works out for a long time.
When JC said he wasn't gong to do Heavy music anymore that was his Addiction talking. Sobriety kicked down those walls and brought back the GOAT to take back his throne in Post Hardcore! Sober 2 years and with a clear mind and heart HES BACK TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD! Cheers to you my dude!
Or he simply wanted to explore R&B. He's been vacillating between the two for a long time now. Don't forget that he might have also been trying to preserve his voice.

It simply can't be denied that his voice is versatile: post-hardcore, soul, r&b, and it would totally nail the blues. Emotive, gritty at times, angelic, and he also can produce melisma like it's nobody's business. A lot of people can produce melisma like it's nobody's business, however, the main point is that he has a distinctive voice.
Jonny, God bless you brother. Stay strong and understand that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion waiting for anyone to devour. You are STRONG. You got this man. Congrats at the come back. This track is amazing. . . For with God nothing shall be Impossible. Luke 1:37
My favorite singer today! After battling his demons and getting kicked out of bands, you can't question his vocals. He's just simply memorizing and another level.
This is an amazing song, and I can’t wait for more of Jonny’s rock stuff to release. This is like a combination of Slaves, Emarosa and instrumentally it’s in the same category as what Rain City Drive is doing today, just with a touch of Jonny’s uniqueness to it (that’s a great thing). I don’t care what people say about Jonny man, I’m always gonna be a fan and a supporter. This man is an amazing talent, he’s a great father now and he’s striving to be the best version of himself. That’s all worth respecting him to the fullest. Hoping for a tour announcement soon!
There's no denying that this man's voice is versatile, even though there are a lot of versatile male and female voices out there. The fact is that he has a distinctive voice. He could even have a song that samples a lot of his melisma. In fact he could even sing a song without words, just his riffs, licks and runs, that is, if it felt authentic to him.
I still can’t believe that I sold shoes to Johnny Craig when I was working at Zumiez in San Antonio Texas in 2019. Dude was really nice I was trying so hard to not be a fan boy
playing super smash brothers with johnny craig back stage last year is a moment i will never forget! JOHNNY CRAIG will never die ! the drummer is the coolest dude to talk to OLD FLAME is such a chill band!!!! cant wait to here this song live!!!!
As an almost 29 year old who has been listening to your music since I was a teen, this makes me sooo happy. Thank you for your beautiful music. I hope you'll do a show in New Zealand sometime!
Jonny Craig, please come to Russia with us. You have a very gorgeous voice, like an angel from heaven. I really want to listen to you live. I want the whole world to know you. We are waiting for you in Russia. I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️❤️
just keep doing this Jonny. Absolutely fantastic vocals. Keep it real because this is who you are. Absolute hit right here and your band mates are fantastic.
this is only the beginning too, crazy man, can't stop this dude. whole world was against him at a point & he still survived & bounced back. idgaf who you are, you gotta respect that resilience about someone. period.
Not only are you an amazing singer, you’re also an amazing person Jonny. Your story is nothing short of inspiring. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and everything you’ve overcame throughout the years. It is not easy and through all the hard times you’re still here and striving for greatness and I’m so glad you are 💜 yes, we love your music, but we love your happiness and sobriety more than anything! Just so glad you’re making rock music again cause it is truly something special

Dude his voice over rock music is just incredible.
His voice over any genre is going to hit hard
It only took 6 years to bring back the Beautiful Death vibes
Longgggg years
Blessed be the fruit or some shit, eh?
Maaaaannn! That fkn album was a masterpiece! 🔥
I thought I was the only one to feel this
Worth it
He’s back! Had a blast working with you on this. Thanks to Shan for having me on and congrats to everyone! 🎥🎉
Great job
Awesome work as always Alex! More to come :)
Killed it. Definitely work together again
jonny releasing new music is always beautiful, but what's even better is seeing him clean and healthy.
And most importantly, he's also doing what feels authentic to him.
Tbh not sure it will last but one can hope. He was in a dark place not long ago.
@@marshallfehr88 he's already on vivitrol as he talked about in an interview which has proven more effective than Suboxone in helping him stay on track with sobriety.
@@marshallfehr88he was last time, but i think he's in a better place this time around. he seems genuinely happy with life.
This Soul inspired Post hardcore is literally impossible to find anywhere else and that's what I love most about JC
Don Vedda has entered the chat..
Also Too Close to Touch but I digress this genre is so good whoever does it
@@itsCurtisAvilaRory from Dayseeker and Anthony Green
Tyler Carter? (Ya know)
Kassim Auale from Burning Down Alaska / Alazka was on the same level like Jonny but they sadly disbanded. Check out their Album "Phoenix"
I’m so glad he’s back doing this kind of music. It sounds just like a deep cut from Beautiful Death, and I’d argue his vocals sound even better than before. It’s so great seeing JC doing so well. I can’t wait to hear the full album, and hopefully this band works out for a long time.
I was thinking the same. The prelude/post chorus 🤔…the beginning and the part after the chorus definitely has that sound for sure
His voice just BELONGS over rock music. Can't deny his voice is super versatile, but rock just let's him show off SO much more!!
One of the best vocalists ever in my opinion
So… you’re saying we can have Old Flame and Rain City Drive?! We are spoiled. Amazing times ahead!
The best voice in post hardcore is back!!!
A sober Jonny is a truly beautiful sight to see and hear. So happy he's back to rock!
I know he grew up with gospel but rock is where his voice shines the most. This is so damn good.
Don't forget that he's versatile, too. He also grew up on R&B.
Johny's voice is just so amazing
God sent him back to us since we lost Issues. We gained Old Flame and Woe Is Me
Wait woe is me is back?
Man losing the band issues hurt man!!😢 tyler carter was one of the best voices I've ever heard. Can't believe what he was doin!😮

That's fair.
Noah Sebastian can..
@@sabastianwatson7150Rory?! Absolutely not. He’s good but no. His cover of Versace on the floor was awful. He tries to sing beyond his abilities

Couldn't give you more of myself like now back then
It was my fault, baby, I was goin' a little crazy
Chasin' off my demons, here we go again
Always lookin' at my dark side
When I've been workin' on the other one
Never get too close
Something's waiting for you on the other side of the hole
Dragging me deep down
Have you ever been alone?
Or is there someone out there with a prayer up on their tongue?
And their hand on a gun?
Would you pray for bittersweet release?
Like I got nothing left to lose
No, you don't gotta pray for me, baby
Pray for me, baby (pray, pray for me)
(Pray for me, baby, pray for me, baby)
It's a different story, I'll take you by the hand
Plain page before us, we can write our chorus
One thing is certain, I never gave in
I got out of there, I don't need your prayer
Never get too close
Something's waiting for you on the other side of the hole
Dragging me deep down
Have you ever been alone
Or is there someone out there with a prayer up on their tongue
And their hand on a gun?
Would you pray for bittersweet release?
Like I got nothing left to lose
No, you don't gotta pray for me, baby
Pray for me, baby
I know everything I've said
Everything that I've done
You've been keeping your prayers
I'm still standing on my own two feet right now
And you know it's enough
No, you, no, you, no, you
No, you don't gotta pray for me, baby
No, no, no, you
No, you don't gotta pray
Like I got nothing left to lose
Like I got nothing left to lose
Like I got nothing left to lose
Like I got nothing left to lose, oh
Would you pray for bittersweet release?
Like I got nothing left to lose
No, you don't gotta pray for me, baby
Pray for me, baby
I know everything I've said
Everything that I've done
You've been keeping your prayers
I'm still standing on my own two feet right now
And you know it's enough
No, you, no, you, no, you don't gotta pray
You don't gotta pray
Pray for me, baby (pray for me, baby, pray for me, baby)
No, you, no, you, no, you, you don't gotta pray
Thanks for the lyrics!!! Was looking for them!!!
I swear to God Jonny is my absolute favorite artist/vocalist. Each of his songs are amazing
absolute same!
Back to a Slaves/Beautiful Death style and I love it. Really brings out the raw talent he has. Look forward to seeing more of this
Absolutely love this man - love or hate him for whatever reasons but his talent is unquestionable

Funny... Jonny Craig is my favorite genre too lol
Or better yet, he could just f*** around with vocal runs.
Just as good as Beautiful Disaster. I like his pop stuff but there’s nothing like hearing that voice over heavy music
this is sick! I'm ready for Pray pt.2, 3, and 4. welcome back, king.

I wish Jonny didn't struggle with addiction. He is so damn talented. I'm guessing that talent comes from unresolved trauma.
Always out of no where but a welcome addition to the long catalogue… Always hits.
